Liquid cancers are, in comparison, much more treatable. Sometimes they can even be curable.

Yes, and sure, you still have to fact check, but that's O(1) per claim. If retrieval is actually happening, and not hallucination, the gains can be huge for a complex query. That's something that people who dismiss GPT seem to for

I've heard about this effect with TDAP and the Shingles vaccine. I wonder what's the mechanism.

Have you looked into Pathological Demand Avoidance, a subtype of ASD? I was misdiagnosed with ADHD, but a psychologist steered me in the right direction. What you describe, avoiding demands, both external and internal, deeply resonates with

I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter, if what you say is true. Can you expound on that idea?

As someone in the spectrum with Demand Avoidance, guanfacine has been a godsend. It's cheap, not controlled, and for me, it works better than any stimulant in regulating my attention.

One theory I like is that when young, we see the world in "high FPS" (a rough metaphor for some neurological phenomenon). As we age, the "FPS" slow down, which makes everything seem much faster. At least in my subjective

That's disingenuous. I don't believe you would pick something just because someone likes it. Almost everything that has been built is liked by somebody. Are flip phones worth a second look just because my parents prefer them over

To be fair, you can do the same even with Word if you stick to using styles. And if you don't like seeing the formatted output, you can switch to outline view.

These opinions are useless if the reasons are not stated. For example, you prefer iMessage over WhatsApp. Ok. Why? The UI? The exclusivity of the platform? Or is it just a whim?

I'm sure there's a genetic factor. I have an espresso superautomatic, beer in my fridge, and prescribed stimulants, and I often go months without partaking in any of that because it has to be a conscious decision and sometimes it

It's amusing to see this popular "by design" explanation take hold with no evidence whatsoever.

Do you find it to be a conservative publication?

That requires me to remember all the little corner cases.

IPv6 failing is a self-fulfulling prophecy. It isn't that hard to implement, but it has become a meme.

Exposing your skin to the sun also creates nitric oxide. Hypothetically, that could also help mitigate cognitive decline (?)

It is a shame that NR is quite an expensive placebo, though. I've found similar results, but I have zero faith in it being some sort of anti aging agent in humans.

We can all prompt ChatGPT. Littering the web with its output is against good netizenship. I understand it's inevitable and a matter of time, but it's still aggravating.

But how? Run to the warehouse again after the cashier has charged you and bring an item and sneak it into the cart? Sounds very hard to do. The only plausible thing is to steal at the self-checkout, but the receipts are different and cause

I have a hard time understanding how someone can steal something from Costco. Sure, it's not impossible, but it seems really hard. First, because of the size of the products themselves. It's hard to conceal them. And small items c

I've heard this line before, but I have a hard time understanding it. Does that mean that a single user has an exclusive lock on 8 of these things for the duration of the request? I'm surely missing something.

I've always been curious about serious scholarship of religion. I've wondered whether it is possible to be both, say, a Christian and an atheist simultaneously (e.g., not believing that Christ existed physically, but at the same t

The so-called expert and Dawkings have a fundamental disagreement over the definition of truth. For Dawkings, truth is something that can be empirically proven. Truth for Dr. Ameri seems to be a logically sound argument. Meaningful discours

Regarding the last point, that's true. Notice how there aren't any forums/communities/Discord channels centered on a single astrological sign. It would be amusing though, to stumble upon a, say, Pisces forum where member

Maybe we're getting into the unproductive game of definitions, but perhaps stereotyping is still stereotyping when the categories are completely made up. After all, stereotyping implies incorrect categories. Otherwise it would be calle

However, such lone geniuses have indeed existed, no? e.g., Ramanujan. The American taste for comic book superheroes makes such stories compelling.

I'm always amazed at how hard it is for most people to read carefully. Memorialize /= memorize.
